You hand might work. Is more or less air coming out? What is the size
of the vent compared to others?

All this may help pin it down, but in the end I believe you are going to
need to have someone come out unless it is a simple matter of having a
damper partly closed when it should not be.

BTW how is it in winter??

His was a good question. Do you try to close the register in that
room during the summer. How hot is the rest of the house.

Maybe you should not adjust the dampers, or adjust them to put *less*
air, less heat in to the bedroom. Then install a fan in the duct for
the bedroom, with a convenient swtich to turn it off in the summer.

I close them in the winter, and that cools the room considerable
amount, 5-7F

The rest of the house, winter time, is around 74-75F
